Based on the historical evidence at hand, the expansion of this program is easily foreseeable. How many entitlement programs have decreased in size/scope over time?
It sounds nice to tell people they should wait and complain if/when the time comes, but the reality is that it's at this time that we've ceded the argument to the liberals. All that remains is bickering about the proper size of this program, and any reasonable person will agree that the bickering will only consist of how much to expand it.
Nonsense. This bill sets in motion the Privatization of Medicare. How is the expansion of a Private program easily forseeable?!
Therefor, either argue the actual numbers in this bill, or else admit that you are arguing about speculative straw men that may never even come to pass. Is your argument so weak that you have to invent numbers, after all, or can you make your case based upon what is written in the current bill?
